Edinburgh Robotics Partnership
September 4, 2007

Communicative Machines (CMLabs) and Edinburgh Robotics today announced a new partnership agreement to integrate their intelligent systems technologies. Under the agreement the two companies will work to integrate their flagship products, DevBot and Psyclone™.

DevBot provides a comprehensive software platform for the development and integration of intelligent systems, from mobile robots to smart domestic appliances. DevBot helps companies innovate by accelerating their product development, reduce cost by enhancing code re-usability and take advantage of global sourcing through its hardware abstraction model.

CMLabs’ Pysclone AIOS™ is a powerful platform for building complex automation and autonomous systems. Based on a decade of research on small and large-scale artificial intelligence, it is built from the ground up as a new foundation for the construction of complex systems. With powerful support for modular, incremental creation of advanced architectures it is in a class of its own for enabling next-generation robot intelligence.

Edinburgh Robotics' Psygate provides bi-directional integration between the two systems. Psygate translates DevBot data streams into Psyclone messages and vice versa. This allows networks of Psyclone modules to process sensory data from a DevBot cluster and to respond with command and control signals. “DevBot provides a powerful foundation for our clients on which to build their Psyclone AIOS applications, with Psygate providing a natural bridge between them. The combined product offering increases the value of each product significantly, presenting a complete solution that would be difficult to obtain in any other way”, says CTO of CMLabs, Thor List.

Joe Halliwell, R&D Director at Edinburgh Robotics is excited by the opportunities which this new agreement will stimulate. “Both CMLabs and Edinburgh Robotics provide complementary infrastructures to facilitate the creation of distributed sensing and control systems; to use an analogy, Psyclone is a toolset for building brains while DevBot is a toolset for building nervous systems. Psygate provides a logical interface between our technologies and will assist our clients highly sophisticated, autonomous systems.”.
